Baseball is brought to you on it.

It's singing. The President Come on Welcome to our star from Overcast, Washington, D.C.

And welcome to our second fly within the last 24 hours to bring you the 40th annual All-Star Baseball game.

We'll give you a word on the weather in a moment.

Today's All-Star game is brought to you by Chrysler Corporation, world famous for engineering.

Insurance by the Hartford.

We try to keep things simple.

The makers of Winston, Salem, and Camel Cigarettes.

And by STP Corporation, makers of STP oil treatment.

STP is the racer's edge.

Hello, this is Jim Simpson with Sandy Kofax, and for those of you who may not have

heard last night's attempt to play, the 40th annual All-Star game was rained out, and

that is my first understatement of the day, because there was a deluge of rain in some

sections of Washington, more than 12 inches of rain.

They had to take hoses and pumps to pump out the waste-high water in the Washington Senator's dugout,

which for today and last night is the American League dugout.

There are drains in center field.

They have taken the sections of those drains out and now replace them,

and the field is in pretty good shape. We'll have a word about a pitching change for the American League in a moment with Sandy Kofax.

Now, Sandy Kofax, we were here

last night and talking, talking about what might happen if the game were to be played. The weather now,

the weatherman says there will be continuing light showers all afternoon. It looks like the game

will be played. Danny McLean, who flew home late last night for dental treatment this morning, reportedly is back in the stadium, but there is a pitching change, and Mel Stadlemar will be the first on the mound today for the American League.
